Trump immigration advisor targets criminals exploiting unaccompanied minors who entered US under Biden
Fox News
Trump administration immigration advisor Chris Clem says officials are targeting fraudulent sponsors exploiting unaccompanied minors who entered the U.S. under Biden.
"It actually pretty much did the opposite with so many because the system was broken, the policies and practices were broken, where children were being placed [with] sponsors that were unvetted or improperly vetted or may have been illegal aliens themselves or smugglers or criminals," Clem, who was based out of Yuma, Arizona, during the Biden administration, told Fox News Digital. "So, my role was to go in there with my 27-plus years of Border Patrol experience, and having dealt with this firsthand in the field for years, to rebuild and put… commonsense practices and policies in place. And that's what we did." "There are literally thousands of cases where there is assault, abuse." "They sleep good at night knowing that they can give their all."
